What is nettle leaf?

Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a traditional herbal plant used across many cultures. Once dried, nettle becomes gentle and is often used in herbal teas to support deep nourishment and overall wellness.

Nettle + hormone balance (naturopathic view)

Hormonal imbalance isn’t only about hormones—often it’s about what the body is missing:

  • minerals and nutrients

Nettle works beautifully as a “foundation herb” that supports the body while other herbs target specific goals.
